‘ADVANCETALK about abuse’ event with London Women’s Services Alliance discussed working directly with women and understanding their lived experiences, and how we are able to amplify their voices to inform policy and practice that meets their needs. We aim to strategically shape and improve the whole systems approach to support women and girls in London, advocating for pan-London services and accessible women’s only, safe spaces across the capital.
